What the hell is wrong with people?

Some things tend to really piss me off, while other seemingly similar things/situations I am able to turn a blind eye to.

One thing that really pisses me off is how fucking stupid people can be. People raised in the so-called modern world, with formal education and the natural ‘common sense’ bits of the brain intact. When someone like that is able to believe in total bullshit and blindly follow some prick that is out for money, I just get pissed. I usually do keep my mouth shut about such things, but lately it seems the whole world is being overtaken by total fucking idiots.

I won’t say which family member did this, but out of the blue, they said “So do you believe in all this global warming bullshit?”
Umm… What? How can you believe or not believe in a term being used to explain a current situation? “Global warming is bullshit. We’re not doing anything to cause it, and it probably isn’t even happening. Even if it seems like something is going on, maybe it is just the natural cycle of things.” Dude… just no. The world is pretty obviously ‘changing’, and something is going on. The last 100 years has brought more major natural disasters than all of the past 1000 years. Yes, the earth goes through ‘cycles’ of extremes. The climate shifts, things die off, and things kind of ‘restart’ from scratch. But for the past 5000 years (longer, but just giving a generic date for the beginning of ‘recorded history’ of sorts) the earth has not drastically shifted. The pattern of that shift is millions of years apart, not thousands. Why would the earth suddenly change from millions to thousands? Yes, the earth has a natural cycle, and this sure as hell isn’t it. We should have a lot more time to go until we have to worry about a major earth-wide climate shift.

To try and explain why this is happening, why things are different, you have to look at what has changed. What might have put a big ding in the path the earth normally travels? Do you really think that the human population suddenly spewing more shit into the atmosphere than ever before has no impact on things? Do you think that wiping out the earths’ forest, which is where our oxygen comes from, has absolutely no consequences? Yeah, ok. Sure. We can live without that damn pesky ozone layer than helps filter the sun. Fuck oxygen, we don’t actually need it to survive, right? And all that water on earth, it won’t matter if we suddenly fuck it up more than anything has in the whole known history of earth, eh?

Are you fucking kidding me? It’s amazing what people can be convinced into believing.

Then there has been a few run-ins with some rather interesting people. For the most part, I kept my mouth shut about my opinion on them and simply ignored them. These people are those fashion-junkies who like to believe they are vampires, aliens are responsible for nearly everything, and they have some psychic ability that is just so fucking cool. Yeah, ok. Hey shitheads, read some books that you didn’t find in the sci-fi section of the library. The whole idea of vampires is based on a bunch of idiots. Long ago, people started exploring the places they live. They ventured out, farther and farther from the world they know, and into areas their peers have never seen. With them they bring their belief, their faith, in whatever the hell it is they’re accustomed to. Suddenly, they see strange things around them. People, outside of their known world, and situations they can’t even begin to explain. They find people a bunch of dead people and weird markings around. The peoples’ throats were slashed, their blood drained, and all sorts of weird things around. What the hell could have done that? No man they know has even seen or done anything like that. OMG it must be some boogie man! Vampires was the story told to explain what explorers found when they ran into a different culture. Back when human sacrifice was still the ‘in thing’ for indigenous tribes, and people from the ‘modern cities’ couldn’t figure out what the hell was going on… they had to come up with something to explain things. So yeah, magic beings called vampires go around sucking your blood, this and that. It was just their way to cope with something they couldn’t understand. Just because something is new to you, doesn’t make it new to the rest of the world. It does not give you the right to try and convince your peers that there is some evil force out there if you dare travel far.

I guess it is good that the whole global warming situation is bullshit and vampires are real. That would make it easier for people to live selfish lives where they never have to think of anything other than themselves. Fucking morons.

I won’t go into the mainstream religion thing. Christians and it’s subsects are just lazy Jews. They got sick of following the whole Jewish thing, so they went ahead and decided that the messiah came and they can go ahead and stop following Jewish law. Fuck the whole no working on Saturday thing. Maybe pigs and lobsters were starting to look really tasty, and people got sick of not being able to eat that. But that doesn’t mean I believe that the Jews have it right, either. I am simply saying that everyone that went along with the whole Jesus thing were just Jews who wanted a change. If you want to go along with what is known now, there are other religions plenty older than what most of the Western world seems to believe. Personally, I think if there is some truth behind any of these religions, then the one that was around first was probably the most accurate. But personally, I think if anything is true, then the only thing that really matters is if you lead a moral and decent life. Be good to yourself, your surroundings, your peers… and that’s probably what matters most.

What the hell is wrong with people? Like I’ve always said: In 5000 years, long after humans left earth and headed elsewhere because the earth was inhabitable, they would return to earth once again. They’ll look around, and find all sorts of things. Then someone goes and finds the set of Harry Potter books. Wow. This is history, it’s old, it’s a good read… fuck, it must be a historical account of things. It’s religion! Follow those books, they’re old and weird!

I swear if that happens, I hope there is a afterlife of sorts… just so I can fucking laugh my ass off.
